ABSTRACT:
A controller for automating the loading, unloading, and tracking of items on a power-driven conveyor. One embodiment of the system includes a control unit connected to a conveyor, a database in the control unit for storing article information including the location on the conveyor at which the article is stored, date/time of storage or date/time of retrieval, and article ID number. The conveyor is moved by manual control to a storage location where an article is stored. The article ID number is entered into the database through a keypad, barcode reader, or other electronic device, and the associated storage location, date/time of loading is entered automatically into the controller database. For retrieval, only the article ID need be entered. The controller will lookup the article ID in the database, move the conveyor to the article's location, and update the database with the date/time the article was retrieved. Another embodiment has the database located in a Point-of-sale (POS) computer system to which the controller is connected by a common data interface.
